Hi folks,

Not sure if this can be done, I found it this morning, not sure if it is even a proper photo.

My reli is arrowed [could that be removed?] Hope that this can be done. It would be nice to have a proper copy. It is the MCC Team for 1903 in Australia.

Hi Rabbit

It looks like a photcopy of a photograph or even a photcopy of a newpaper print. I'll have a go at it but you'll not get it back to photo quality

Hi Rabbit,
Gadget is right, looks like a photocopy of something, which explains the quality.
Sounds like an important photo though, so I wonder if you could find a better copy elsewhere? London or Aussie newspapers, the MCC, Cricket Australia....I know nothing about cricket (except that we tend to be fairly good at it

) so these suggestions are just off the top of my head.

Further to above, here is something about that tour (you probably already know all this...)

Looks like I spoke too soon - England won the series that year!

Still working on it on touchpad on laptop, so a bit slow. This is a small version of where I've got to so far!

PS - Prue, we do sometimes win

Te he!! I knew that we had won that year, and had a nasty feeling that this was a photocopy of a newspaper or book.

Any improvement you can do would be gratefully received
Thanks so much

Rabbit B

PS Prue, thanks for the link!! I will look at that.

Gadget,

That is brilliant, you are too modest! at least their badges and faces show up at last!

Rabbit B

PS Does any cricket fan know what colour the team wore for their blazers, caps and badges?

Gadget · « **Reply #7 on:** Monday 11 June 07 13:29 BST (UK) »

I won't do any more to it, Rabbit, unless you can't find a proper photograph. Wisden or Cricinfo must have one somewhere!

I'll go look too.

Gadget

PS - the badges seem to be white blobs - can't get anything out of those bits
